VRSF Race Intercooler - BMW F22/F23/F30/F32/F33/F36 N20 & N55
This VRSF Race Intercooler is the top tier of VRSF's front-mount intercooler lineup for BMW's F-chassis N20 and N55 platforms. It's a direct bolt-on replacement for the factory intercooler, built around a high-density bar-and-plate core sized 117% larger than the stock unit to keep intake temperatures down as boost and airflow increase on a tuned car.
The factory tube-and-fin core is sized for stock boost levels. Once a car is tuned, it heat-soaks under sustained load, costing power and raising the risk of pre-detonation. VRSF's bar-and-plate core and cast aluminum end tanks are built to handle that extra airflow without the heat soak.
Construction
- High-density, staggered-and-offset bar-and-plate core
- CNC-machined, one-piece cast aluminum end tanks
- Bright silver protective coating
- Retains the factory fan shroud mounting tabs
- Uses the factory intercooler piping - no cutting required
What's Included
- VRSF Race Intercooler core and end tanks
- Mounting hardware
Ownership Notes
Every core is hand-finished and pressure-tested before it ships. Installation is plug-and-play with the factory piping - VRSF rates the swap at under 1.5 hours.
